A fabulous week at Crystal cove

sarahwV4722IA on May 03, 2024

I am really perplexed by the very negative reviews. We have just returned from Crystal cove (18th April-25th April). There were 10 of us and we had the best time. On arrival we were offered welcome drinks, check in was friendly and efficient. Location amazing! What a beach! The facilities were excellent. Very impressed with water sports activities and all inclusive offer. The food was above average for all inclusive and plenty of choice. Out only suggestion for improvement would be during the refurb to consider air con in the main dining room. The rooms whilst dated were better than we had expected. We were aware before arriving that the hotel was due a refurb (planned) so we’re not put off by the dates bathrooms.Cleanliness was no issue at all we had great maid service and everything was spotless. The best asset to this hotel are the staff. Friendly and welcoming. As previously said we were a large group and our needs were always met and catered for. Will definitely return

Don't believe the pictures! Place is a Dump!

Crystal Cove is a scam! The resort is old , run down, and no security. Arrived on 4/4 there was no food available or alcohol, for a resort that advertises as an "all inclusive"! My husband and I knew immediately that this wasn't a 4 or 5 Star hotel! Our ocean front room over looked old beach furniture and a guy about to cook on this broken down grill. The room was so small that I could barley open my suitcase and have enough room to get to the bathroom! Nothing is updated, bathroom old and moldy, and we heard everything going on in the room next door, the walls are super thin. Also for the AC they have loud wall inserts, not central air. We left after about 30 mins of checking in once we saw the condition of the room and that there's not food at all times. They had given us and 7pm dinner time so no food would be out till dinner and we arrived at 5:30ish after a 5 hour flight. I didn't know "all inclusive gave dinner times except if you book a specialty restaurant"! There's no bar except in the very small outdated pool. Since there was no food out we were instructed that we could go to the coffee café a get sandwich "until dinner time". The café gave us 3 sandwiches each had one piece of meat, and they didn't even have mayo or mustard so we didn't even eat them! Who wants a dry sandwich? We went to the front desk told them this place isn't expectable and we are going to another resort and want a refund so that we don't ruin our stay in Barbados, and they basically said well there's the door. So after only spending 30 minutes there, no food, no drinks, didn't sleep there. The Hotel is refusing to refund us our $3000.00. We booked this resort because it's a Marriot property so I figure we couldn't go wrong, but this place is a Motel 8 level at best. So long story short we got taken for 3k and had to spend another $4400.00 to stay at Sandals which is AN EXCELLENCT RESORT THAT DELIVERS WHAT THEY ADVERTISE. Do your self a favor and don't stay there, book at another property!
